How does the program work?

You begin by registering with us and accepting our volunteer agreement. There is no cost associated with registering as a shipper. We promise to keep your personal information secure.

Once you have registered with us, you can login to the Volunteer’s Corner and request addresses of troops overseas, veterans or military families using our automated system. Input the genres you have on hand and our system will generate a customized address list for you. Label your books and insert our standard shipping letter (or your own personal note). Pack and address your box using the names we provide. Then head to the Post Office. It's that simple!

Most people enjoy being Volunteer Shippers because of the personal process of mailing books directly to someone in need. You can send a single shipment or several; it's up to you!

I wanted to say thank you for the kindness and the generosity that you've given to us through taking the time, money and effort to send us these boxes. We sincerely thank you and appreciate all that you have done for us. In particular, thanks to the Sun River Library at St. George, Utah; Mary in Chanhassen, MN; and John and Denise M. God Bless You and Yours!
